one is the united states and the other is canada. that was done because according to american amok, they could not prosecute people who had committed crimes outside the united states whose victims are not american. the american government in 1977 basically did what i jokingly call the outcome, compromise. the fbi wanted to have him tried for murder so they got an income-tax. it is the same idea. they were asked questions about there past which they falsified so they can be put on trial. but good news it is relatively easy to win cases the tissue and not have to prove they murdered anyone but they live. if you want to become an american citizen, you need good character. if you are born in america you don't.

compare that with our efforts -- our cleanup efforts in canada.as i mentioned a couple of -- relatively minor small facilities in canada that we pulled out of after a the cold war, canada said, yes, we know we promised to cleaned this up and you promised us $100 million to clean this and we're not going to this on our own and we're your biggest trading partner so come on. realpolitik came to the floor and after a few years saying no, we don't do that sort of thing, the u.s. completely turned itself around and said -- and this is according to john hamre, who's the deputy secretary of defense at the time, there's no country with the same geography, historical relationship and vital significance to u.s. security, he said, and indicating, yes, we're actually going to take care of this. however, he said this was a special case not duplicated anywhere else in the world. so what's important to note is two things. because we have this relationship with canada we decided to go against what is a pretty clearly stated policy and to go above and beyond the st

so canada could have been the second nuclear power. it was part of the manhattan project, had reactors and so forth. the canadians never took it seriously. why didn't they? the british were building it, the french were, why not the canadians. they had the capacity. and in many respects, they didn't see the value. just a waste of money. it didn't fit into their image as a country. moseley, i think that's what's happened. when they look at nuclear weapons, what they decided is they are too much work. there's no gain from them. and you get a little bit maybe in prestige or self-inflated ego. maybe somebody who wants to deter may feel more comfortable about that. unless you have some pressing issue like that, there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to develop them at all. i think that's most countries. and you get this list of 20 or 25 country that is are going to include, canada and belgium and poland and italy. most of those countries haven't talked about it seriously. you think that's why the proliferation has been so slow. nonetheles

canada, as a world leader, takes its role very seriously.ticularly with respect to the responsibilities in the western hemisphere. this special responsibility canada shares is one reason why we convened this meeting, to better harmonize international efforts in haiti. in order to do the greatest amount of good, we must work together. as we continue to focus on fast and effective humanitarian assistance, we must at the same time begin to look at the longer term challenge of reconstruction. this meeting is a crucial first step in that direction. the international community must be prepared for a sustained significant effort in haiti, relying on the leadership of the government of haiti and in line with its priorities. it is canada's hope that this meeting will set the stage for a broad international conference on reconstruction that will mobilize the will and resources of all of haiti's partners. today's conference will allow us to agree on the principles that should guide our approach on haiti's reconstruction. let me just highlight a few of

there were 13 different groups advertising in massachusetts and the canada did not have control over candidate, when third-party candidates come in. i do think the core's decision was correct in terms of the first amendment. we should not be about suppressing speech that we disagree with. it ought to be about free- speech and the debate of ideas in the court of public opinion. there will be a lot of for- profit corporations who are responsible to their shareholders who will say, we do not think our money should be spent on candidates and political campaigns. we think it should be spent on improving our stock performance and growing our company. i think it is a mixed bag. . i do not think it is the end of civilization as we know it. i do not think it will have a huge impact. we have already seen an explosion of money in political campaigns or the last 10 years. -- over the last 10 years. the key is how to make it transparent and make it immediately available to voters and reporters and everybody online so people can be held responsible for their contributions, not suppress it? guest:

canada has a single payer system. there's only one buyer of care in canada, that's the provinces.so they're what we called a monopoly on the buying side. so they have tremendous power in their negotiations with hospitals and doctors and pharmaceutical companies. and they didn't always have this, in the 1960's they were like the united states, they relied on private insurance. they spent more than we did on hospital and physician care. since that time, since they consolidated, had the government get involved in the purchasing of services, their growth rates and their costs have been much lower than the u.s. costs. but that's probably not a good model for the u.s., i don't think the insurance companies are going anywhere. so what we need to do is look at a model that involves insurers and there are many models out there that are much more effective at controlling health care costs. one example, for example, would be france. france has multiple insurers but the government does the negotiating and the coordinating of the prices that they pay to hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical co

>> canada will move to a mission obviously focused on development and humanitarian assistance. that is the track we have been on since 2008. we have been stepping up efforts to train afghan security forces said they can handle a greater load of the day-to-day responsibilities for the security of their country. we have been trying to transition to a more civilian oriented mission. i noticed what president obama has recently done in terms of the additional troop commitments but in terms of how they have structured the missions. these things all happened correspond with the decisions we came to way back in 2008. i think it is a confirmation we are on the right track. afghanistan is going to remain a very challenging theater for the world as well the problems in neighboring pakistan. >> are you now confident that the agreement is not going to expose canadian forces in afghanistan between now and 2011 to participate in war crimes as a result of possible afghan torture? >> yes, i am confident of that. that is why we have such agreements in place. the previous government thought it ha

as you know canada has a single-payer system. there's only one buyer of care in canada.s the problem says so they are what we call monopoly on the buying side. so they have tremendous power in the negotiations with hospitals and doctors and pharmaceutical companies. and they didn't always have this. they're the 1960's they were like the united states about a private insurance. they actually spent more than we did on hospital physician care. since that time, since they consolidated and got involved in the purchasing services, the growth rates and cost have been much lower than the u.s. cost. but that's probably not a good model for the u.s. i don't think the insurance companies are going anywhere. so what we need to do is look at a model that involves insurers. and there are many models out there that are much more effective at controlling health care costs. one example, for example, would be -- would be free of. france has multiple insurers but the government does the negotiation and the coordinating of the crises that they paid to hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical
